Nomination
Vessel particulars, Q88, ownership, flag, class, P&I, capacity and cargo compatibility.
Operations
Marine, terminal and documentary execution.
Cargo performance is managed from nomination and loading through inspection, shipping documentation, discharge and close-out.
Physical execution
Operational ownership across the cargo lifecycle.
Kafra Core coordinates vessels, terminals, inspectors, agents and counterparties against the governing contract. Operational instructions are reconciled with product, title, payment and sanctions requirements before they are issued.
The Group does not imply ownership of third-party vessels, terminals or storage. External infrastructure is engaged contractually and remains subject to operator acceptance and transaction-specific availability.
Marine operations
Vessel and voyage management.
Vessel acceptance and voyage execution combine commercial suitability, terminal requirements, safety information and sanctions-related checks.
Screening
IMO identity, ownership history, flag, AIS behavior, port calls and applicable sanctions exposure.
Terminal acceptance
Jetty limits, draught, manifold configuration, vetting requirements and documentary acceptance.
Laycan and readiness
Voyage orders, ETA notices, notice of readiness, loading window and agent coordination.
Loading and discharge
Quantity, quality, sampling, pumping, statements of fact and operational exception management.
Claims and close-out
Laytime calculation, demurrage support, outturn review, shortage or quality claims and record retention.
Terminal and storage
Contracted infrastructure and controlled custody.

Product segregation, seals, sampling, transfer measurements and chain-of-custody records are aligned with the applicable contract and inspection regime.

Independent inspection and shipping records establish the documentary basis for cargo performance and settlement. The exact document set depends on the product, delivery basis, jurisdiction, bank instrument and governing contract.
